Joseph Gasowski

My thank you to all my family and friends for all your love and support. Hi everyone! If you are reading this, I have gone and joined the force (not the space force but the real force.) It’s been a “Wonderful Life!” I have raised two great gentlemen, John and Joe, who brought me a great deal of self actualization. Their wives, Paige and Iveta have given me 4 incredible grandchildren, Anna, Alekzander, Sofie, and Jacob. I am sending them a heartfelt THANK YOU for being two great moms and wives. It has been fantastic married to Jan “Lefty”, facing trials and tribulations and new adventures together everyday. That is true love for well over 48 years. I would like to take a moment to thank some special people for their love and support. You know who you are. To my “Brother and Sister”, Lexi and Julio. Through the years we have had so much fun and you cared so much. To Uncle Sonny (and Aunt Estelle – deceased), thank you for your love and support through the years. To Christina, our wonderful niece. I love you and will always be thankful for all your help and comfort and love. To the rest of my family, thank you for all your help and love. To my best buddies from Villanova, my friends Joe Haas and Joe Gianuzzi, don’t forget all the good times we had together. “GO WILDCATS!” To the 46 Club and dear friends: Bill Snuffer, Chaz Smith, Larry Donnenfield, Bill Steinkemper, (and Phil Dyer and Tony Polumbo – deceased), Bob Lolli, Wayne Thorpe, Johnny Ware, Cal Thompson, Dwayne Von Fange. Some of us have known each other for over 30 years. During this time, I have enjoyed our lunches, get togethers, so many parties, and New Years celebrations. Dining in our tuxedos and evening attire made it so memorable. To my Doctors in particular, Dr Mark Burns and Dr Brian Perlmutter, who made my life better by taking the time to listen and bring their medical magic to extend my life. THANK YOU! To my IBM fellow workers and dear friends, Jeff Weise, Monica Limon-Wynn, Kerry Swart, Joe Cavaunaugh, Bob Smith, (and Jim Calvert – deceased). I will never forget you all and how great it was to work beside you. My fascinating lunch buddies, Arnie Koriath and Jeff Weise. You offered great discussions and we shared delicious food. We pondered ideas from 400 AD to the future and The Force from different viewpoints (an obtuse angle). To our new neighbors and now friends, thank you for welcoming us to the neighborhood and for caring so much. I cherish all of you for the memories and the love that made my life easier. Thank you and “May the Force be With You!” Cheers, Joe.

A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to Mariposa Gardens Funeral Care (480) 830-4422
